rade. To say thGt it was grand, imposing,
perfect, is to soy the simple trutn and 10
say what will be agreed to. 10 say that 1t
was the grnndest demonstration ever held
in the Northwest is to say what thousands
said in their enthusiasm. The first dlvl-
sion was mnde up of the National Guards
OF Iowa ami Dakota. There were in all
twelve companies, seven OF Dakota and
five of Iowa troops. The Dakota troops
were the companies of Mitchell, Huro n.

companies wsrs those Of Sioux City, Le.
Mars, Council Bluffs. Des Moines and

occasion. The mon were nearly all young.
but well formed, active, vigorous, like the
great Northwest, and all OF soldierly
bearing, admirably disciplined, an CIV
ing strong suggestion of the possible
martial prowess of the Northwest if need
be.

pecially remarkable, demonstrating that
the great Northwest is Il veritable giant in
all things, and demonstrating thatthe power
full though young territory does not IN MIL
itary sp rit take a rank second even to tho
boasted chtvalry of the south.
